“The authorities have failed to arrange an air ambulance for three patients in Budhal, leaving them to suffer due to the ongoing tussle between the Centre and the J&K government,” he said.
Providing updates on the health status of Aijaz, a patient who was airlifted to PGI Chandigarh, Javid said, “He has responded well to treatment after being administered an antidote. He has regained consciousness and is recovering.”
